==Appearance==
In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', Special Operations Sangheili are clad in black, but wear purple/steel [[Sangheili harness|armor]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]''. They are similar to [[Stealth Sangheili]], as they both possess [[active camouflage]] technology. However, the two are different and should not be confused: Stealth Sangheili have gray/brown armor that has little or no shielding, and they are permanently cloaked until they are killed, whereas Special Operations Sangheili have purple/black armor that is shielded, but their active camouflage only remains active if the user does not fire or get hit by enemy fire. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', they are depicted wearing a dark red [[Infiltration harness]].<ref name="essential">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 59''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Special Operations Sangheili was the only class of Elite who throw plasma grenades in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', and ''[[Halo 3]]''.
**Curiously, they stopped by the time of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', presumably so higher ranked Elites, such as Zealots, Generals, and Ultras would become the bigger threat.
*With every original game they appear in, their shield strength would become weaker than the previous. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', their shields were one of the strongest in the levels they appeared in. In ''Halo'' ''2'' and ''3'', their shield strength was synonymous to that of a [[Sangheili Major|Major's]]. While in ''Reach'', their shield is so weak, that it could be depleted with a single melee.
